Happy Halloween!

We had a fun Halloween with our family! We had lots of yummy food, a fire pit and of course tons of candy! Our plan was to take Miss Avery to a few of our neighbors' houses to trick or treat. Well, she wanted nothing to do with it! We made it to three houses and she was done. She was more interested in petting their doggies than getting candy. She did enjoy handing out candy to the other kids though! Maybe next year she'll understand the concept of FREE candy!

Our little ladybug and her cheesy grin!

Posing for the camera!

She absolutely LOVES lollipops!!!

I think she had three in a row!

Oh well, it was Halloween!

The awesome Elmo pumpkin that Daddy carved for her!

It definitely got lots of compliments from trick or treaters!

Cute family pic!

GO CARDS!!!

Happy Birthday PaPa!

Yesterday was my dad's birthday. Mom, Dad, Luke and Melissa came over for a bbq. It was a gorgeous afternoon and we enjoyed sitting out on our deck! (we did eventually have to come in to catch the Cards game of course!)

Visit with Great Grandmas

A few weeks ago I took Avery to see my Grandmas...remember they both live in the same complex so we get to see both of them when we visit. Avery is always quite the entertainer! They get a kick out of just watching her, and she's sure to always ham it up for them!

She looks like she's saying something very important in this pic!

Powdered Donut Love

Avery has a new found love for powdered donuts! Ha! (Don't mind the bed head look) :)

Happy Birthday Grandma!

Today is my Mother-in-Law's birthday!

We hope you have a great day, we love you!!!

Destin 2011-Part 1

A few weeks ago our family drove to Destin, Florida to spend a week at the beach! On our way to Destin we stopped in Memphis to visit Graceland. It was pouring down rain the whole time, but we still had fun! Johnny and his family had been before, but it was a first for Miss Avery and I. I actually enjoyed it and would like to go back because I felt like we rushed through since it was raining. We toured the mansion and ate at one of the restaurants. Avery even had a peanut butter and banana sandwich! Yum!

Next stop...Graceland!

the mansion

It's surprising to see what was considered to be a mansion back then. I guess I was expecting it to be a mansion by today's standards and it was more like a normal two story house.
